"Overheard in NY": Special Internet Culture edition
It's been a while since I posted jewels from Overheard in New York. That's probably because I no longer live in New York and "Overheard in Charlottesville" is not really that funny.
So here is an oldie but goodie:
Trader: Yeah, so after I first called him I accidentally sent him a hardcore porn email, and he got such a kick out of it he sent me a hundred and fifty thousand share order.--42nd & Madison
Overheard by: So that's how he makes so much money

Skinny tween boy: My mom told me to be careful of stalkers on MySpace. Then, as soon as I signed up, I already had one friend -- he was this guy named Tom -- just smiling at me. I thought, 'Man, how did the stalker find me so fast?!'
